Norwich have been dealt a double blow after star striker Grant Holt reaffirmed his intentions to follow manager Paul Lambert out of the Carrow Road exit door.

The Canaries top scorer last season originally had a transfer request turned down last month, but has now taken to Twitter to confirm he still wishes to leave the club.

‘Just to stop the rumour mill again. I have expressed to the board and the CEO that I want to leave the football club. Due to disagreements,’ he tweeted.

‘I have loved my 3 years at the club and it sadness (sic) me to right (sic) this but want use (sic) to here (sic) it from me first.’

Norwich are also braced to lose manager Lambert, who is likely to become Aston Villa boss despite the Canaries rejecting his offer of resignation yesterday.

Some morning reports suggest the Scot has already walked out on the club, and will replace Alex McLeish at Villa within the next 24 hours.

Now it seems likely Holt will follow his boss to the Midlands, as he tries to manufacture an exit from Carrow Road.

Norwich refused to comment on Holt’s latest social network revelations, but his agent, Lee Payne, revealed shortly after the initial transfer request that his client was not driven by a desire for more money.

Payne also claimed Holt had a number of grievances with the actions of the board in the closing weeks of the season, something the Norwich hierarchy denied.
